CH 120

The minds of the ministers in the imperial court are very clear.

When the crown prince was frequently reprimanded by Emperor Chengde for his younger brothers’ private actions, some of them sided with the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince in order to gain meritorious deeds.

But when the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor…

Everyone, one by one, is loyal to the new emperor.

The life of the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince is not as easy as it was when their father was in power.

What’s even more frightening is that they have all framed the crown prince before!

Now that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the new emperor may not do anything to them, but one day if the Supreme Emperor passes away, what will they do?

The three princes were in constant panic and wanted to show their favor to the new emperor, but unfortunately, the new emperor did not lack younger brothers.

He already had a younger brother to worry about, so he didn’t bother to care about the other younger brothers!

Most importantly, he had to act magnanimously in front of the Supreme Emperor like he didn’t care about these princes at all, but in fact…he hated these three younger brothers very much in his heart.

In other words, the Supreme Emperor is still here, so he was just enduring it.

Emperor Chengde’s health is not good.

In the original history, he died early, but now he has abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, so he has lived a few years longer than before.

When he died, the new emperor immediately began to settle accounts with the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince.

As for the people around the three princes…they had already got settled.

The father of the third wangfei, Liu Zhaoluan, was pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded for corruption during the flood control, and the Liu family was ransacked.

Then, some of the things the third prince had done were also revealed, so he was imprisoned in the third prince’s mansion.

Liu Zhaoluan did not expect that she traveled here and made so much effort, but the ending she got in the end was still exactly the same as the ‘Liu family’ in history.

Once upon a time, she fantasized about being the empress, the empress dowager, but what happened? She is now a prisoner!

Although the third prince has been imprisoned, there are still people serving him with no shortage of food and clothing.

For those women in the mansion, who didn’t have much chance to go out, staying in the mansion like this is not much different from before.

However, not wanting to go out and not being able to go out, give people a completely different feeling.

Liu Zhaoluan felt that she was going to go crazy.

Especially since the third prince has more and more women and more children.

She always thought that the third prince loved her deeply and would be with her forever, but the reality was not like that.

Only after the crown prince ascended the throne did she know that in the third prince’s mansion, there were actually quite a few maids who were having an affair with the third prince, and they were all just hiding it from her.

The third prince felt that it was because of her that the crown prince was able to ascend the throne smoothly, so he told her about it and angered her. After that, the third prince went to the Supreme Emperor and married two side concubines in one go.

After that, the third prince took in some women one after another.

After something happened to her father, the third prince even got involved with the maids around her one by one.

When she was in modern times, she had read the poems written by the third prince, she thought that those poems were very beautiful. Only now did she know…This guy is a pervert!

But she is a woman. In this era, women must depend on men. No matter how dissatisfied she is, it’s useless. She can only endure it, and try to put it out of sight.

However, since being confined, the scope of everyone’s activities is so small, and the third prince also hates her and feels that she was the one misleading him, which made him focus on the fifth prince and didn’t kill the crown prince early…

In the end, she was driven to live in the place where the concubine lived.

Liu Zhaoluan couldn’t bear it.

She can’t go on living like this!

With such thoughts in mind, Liu Zhaoluan approached the person guarding the third prince’s mansion and said that she had a shocking secret to tell the new emperor and asked to see the new emperor.

The new emperor Zhou Zhi agreed to see this woman.

Like most people in this era, he doesn’t take the woman in the backyard seriously. He agrees to meet this woman because both Su Moxiu and Yan Jingze have told him that this woman is not simple.

Knowing that this woman wanted to see him, Zhou Zhi specially called Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu to hide beside him and listen to what the woman had to say.

Well, Zhou Zhi’s eldest son, who is deeply loved by Zhou Zhi, the current crown prince AFu is also listening in.

Of course, AFu is not called AFu anymore, his formal name is Zhou Ji.

Twelve years have passed, the former fat bean has grown into a graceful teenager. Well, he can’t really be call graceful. The the acne on his face is unpleasant to look at, and his male duck voice was even more difficult to listen to.

Yan Jingze looked away in disgust, and turned to talk to Su Moxiu.

Zhou Ji, who was disgusted: “…” After so many years, his fifth imperial uncle still doesn’t like him.

He obviously has been working very hard to get on good terms with his fifth imperial uncle!

The former empress Wang, now empress dowager Wang, also dislike him.

Fortunately, these two people don’t like others either…After thinking about it, he felt that the two of them just didn’t like children by nature.

So why did he struggle for so many years in his previous life, insisting to make them like him?

He’s really just stuffing himself!

He’s happy about one thing right now — his fifth imperial uncle’s health is much better than in his previous life.

At this time in his previous life, his fifth imperial uncle had already passed away!

How about now? If his fifth imperial uncle went out and said that he was only in his early twenties, many people probably believed it.

And Su Moxiu.

This person, who is supposed to die early, is living well now. Although he looks like a gentle weak scholar, before when someone in the court suddenly started arguing and fighting…He actually walked over, and with one one, he directly pulled them away!

Su Moxiu’s strength should not be underestimated!

Just as Zhou Ji was thinking about these things, he heard movement from outside——Liu Zhaoluan is here!

Liu Zhaoluan didn’t want to live like that anymore, so she knelt down towards Zhou Zhi as soon as she came, “Your majesty, I came from a future generations hundreds of years later.”

Zhou Zhi: “???” What did this person say? Is she crazy?

Of course Liu Zhaoluan is not crazy, she just wants to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for some benefits.

The best ending is that she and her children can leave the Third Prince’s Mansion and live a better life. The worst ending…The worst ending is that they all die.

If it’s the latter, she will also pull down the third prince!

“Your majesty, I know many things about future generations, such as…If there are no unexpected things, the person sitting on the throne should be your younger brother, Zhou Zhen.”

Zhou Zhi said: “It’s impossible.” His younger brother only thought about Su Moxiu, he didn’t want to be emperor at all.

Zhou Ji also felt that Liu Zhaoluan was talking nonsense. If there were no unexpected situation, he should be the one sitting on the throne now.

Liu Zhaoluan just misremembered the time. Although she had read the history books, she didn’t remember the year clearly at all.

What’s more, people used to call the time AD at that time, but in this era, this is not used to record the year.

“I’m telling the truth. In the history I know, you passed away early, and the other princes also had accidents one by one. Zhou Zhen had the last laugh and ascended to the throne. It’s a pity that he had no children in his life, so he passed it on to your son…”

Zhou Zhi: “Can this be called having the last laugh?” His younger brother, who spends all day thinking about eating and sleeping, probably doesn’t want to be an emperor at all.

“Zhou Zhen is a very powerful man, he has always kept a low profile, you must be careful…” Liu Zhaoluan reminded Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi: “…” Even if this person really came from a future generation, she might not be that bright.

Zhou Zhi didn’t bother to talk to her, so he said directly to the side: “Su Moxiu, I’ve left this person to you, you can ask her carefully to see what’s going on with her, is she crazy?”

Su Moxiu came out: “Yes, your majesty.”

Liu Zhaoluan turned pale with shock. She didn’t expect that there were other people here.

What she didn’t expect was that following closely behind him, she saw Zhou Zhen, whom she regarded as her archenemy, also come out, and said to Zhou Zhi, “Big brother, you’re giving Axiu another job! He won’t have time to accompany me now!”

“You can go interrogated together, isn’t it like he is accompanying you? Go! Don’t bother me!” Zhou Zhi said.

He now knows why his father always throws things at his younger brother.

Being an emperor is really tiring. He has to deal with a lot of things every day, and when he gets tired, his mood will get worse, and when his mood gets worse, he will start to get annoyed with his younger brother.

Why does his younger brother live so happily every day?

Liu Zhaoluan: “…” Something seems…not quite right?

When Liu Zhaoluan was taken away by Su Moxiu for interrogation, she watched as Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu flirt with each other as if no one was around during her interrogation…

The novel lied to her!

Why didn’t history make it clear that Zhou Zhen was a cut sleeve?!

The Su family’s daughter that Zhou Zhen married in history, could she be Su Moxiu who disguised himself as a woman?

He died early, could it be that he secretly abdicated and traveled around the world with Su Moxiu?

The plot usually goes like this in the danmei novels she had read too!

Yan Jingze didn’t know that Liu Zhaoluan was still thinking about novel plots.

He actually had some sympathy for the transmigrator.

Besides, all women who have traveled to such a historical period when women are not taken seriously are quite pitiful.

However, sympathy is sympathy. He would not think of saving Liu Zhaoluan, after all, this person was only thinking of killing him before.

Liu Zhaoluan’s ending will depend on Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi did not kill Liu Zhaoluan.

The ‘history’ Liu Zhaoluan mentioned is messy, but there are traces to follow. More importantly, some of the agricultural knowledge Liu Zhaoluan mentioned, as well as methods to prevent plagues, are very useful.

Anyway, after that, Yan Jingze never saw Liu Zhaoluan again, but Zhou Zhi once said a lot to him with a face full of emotion.

Yan Jingze: “…” It seems that Zhou Zhi believed Liu Zhaoluan’s words.

Speaking of which, Zhou Zhi has a pretty good temper. Because he regards women as weak, he doesn’t want to kill women. Liu Zhaoluan should be able to have a good ending.

It’s just… she most likely gets locked up.

After Zhou Zhi sat on the throne for twenty-five years, he abdicated and passed the throne to Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji also sat on the throne for 25 years, and then passed the throne to his son.

After becoming the Supreme Emperor, Zhou Ji, who had died once, worked hard to maintain his health, bent on living a long life, at least…to pay his respect to his fifth imperial uncle for the last time, right?

After all, his fifth imperial uncle is twenty years older than him!

Zhou Ji worked very hard, but he passed away when he was eighty years old.

And at that time, it’s understandable for his untimely death, but his fifth imperial uncle and Su Moxiu are still alive and well.
